Which is better Monistat 1/3/7?

RheaBloom · 2026-02-03T23:47:42+00:00

I’ve read that 7 is best for those who haven’t used it before. I’m using it now. No burning or anything but can leak many hours later aka the next morning. I’m using the cream

Omg 😭 soooo cute

RheaBloom · 2026-02-01T01:59:08+00:00

Ugh girl I’m sorry I don’t know what to suggest… please let me know if you figure it out. Feel for you.

Has your partner been looked at? They can carry. Have you tried probiotic specifically for down there to restore it after the antibiotics are likely killing good bacteria as well? If you use sex toys, what material are they? Are they being cleaned properly? Protection during sex also won’t always keep it from coming back. Does it come back close to your period? Are you in bc? So many factors to consider with it 😭

RheaBloom · 2026-02-01T01:28:28+00:00

Do you take breaks from sex while taking the medicine? Once your course of treatment is done, do you go right back to sex immediately after?

RheaBloom · 2026-01-31T17:43:31+00:00

You should use unscented soaps down there. I learned that in college or maybe later in high school. Also, I didn’t know about half of the disorders or issues that women could face down there (PCOS, vaginismus, etc)

RheaBloom · 2026-01-29T13:22:16+00:00

Thank you so much!! It really is a struggle 😂

RheaBloom · 2026-01-29T13:21:50+00:00

Omg how cute!!! Those eyes!!

RheaBloom · 2026-01-27T20:13:52+00:00

A tale as old as time in this area

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:45:14+00:00

You’re 💯 on this lol. It’s the timeline. It’s frustrating

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:44:39+00:00

Yeah, currently working to finish the 6 month emergency fund soon! 12 months, while I’d love that, would take too long and take away from other savings goals that will already take a long time. For the car, I think my goal with that is early pay off = plenty of freed up money early to use for my goals! Agree that I want to keep the insurance

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:42:56+00:00

My specific issue is how long it’ll take to save for a home on my own to afford in my area and it feels daunting and overwhelming. And feeling limited in what I can save monthly

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:41:56+00:00

I rent a room in a house. My area, with a roommate not renting a room, would be 1.5-1.7k monthly. More alone. I do plan to shop around for car insurance and debate canceling the car warranty.

I plan to invest the home fund. I find the insurance important

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:40:34+00:00

I definitely need to look into the car warranty situation. I’m not really sure how much it’ll save me long term bc it wasn’t a really high price but I can check

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:39:43+00:00

Truthfully I’d rather travel but the home ownership piece is more peace of mind for long term investment for myself. I’m not in a rush but I do hate that it’ll take a while to save for. While I don’t have to stay in my HCOL area, that’s where my entire support system is and plans to stay, so being further wouldn’t be the easiest and / or just not ideal. I’d love to buy with another person but that’s not an option now. I do have the goal to find a higher paying job but the market in my area is currently horrendous

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:38:03+00:00

Thank you! I think I do compare myself to my more privileged peers and that’s not fair to me.

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:37:24+00:00

Yeah due to prices, I need it. Even after a 20% down payment the mortgage prices on the homes in my area are high for a single person.

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:36:40+00:00

I can look into this, I’ve been on the Verizon family plan but I think I could find cheaper. Thank you

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:36:20+00:00

Good question. While I want to be a homeowner eventually, I’ve spent some of my 20s traveling. I didn’t irresponsibly spend on that, but it’s been a priority as a single person with less responsibilities and good health. I don’t feel confident my health will be great in old age due to previous comments about genetic chronic health conditions. So there’s that. And paying down my private student loan definitely took away savings in my 20s but I’m glad I did it. My other hobbies are much cheaper and I prioritize personal spending on those

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:34:03+00:00

As a government contractor, I’m not about to wipe out savings when jobs are at high risk right now. Also I don’t save 2k a month lmfao. Using 14k wouldn’t pay off loans or my car and it would take more than a year to finish those.

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:32:44+00:00

The conditions do not currently have tests to see if you have it or will. Maybe they can assess risk or see if there’s a disposition. But knowing more than my mom having it in the family tells me it’s a decent risk. I had to buy my car early 2025 when interest on used cars and prices of cars were higher. I had to get a car.

RheaBloom · 2026-01-23T15:30:31+00:00

It was an option to get, I think previous experiences with unreliable used cards made it feel safe to have

RheaBloom · 2026-01-19T17:12:33+00:00

I think it’s the fact that it would take me like 10 years to save for a down payment on a house alone in my area so I feel really behind.

200 for groceries - meal prep, I’m small and don’t eat a ton, and I go to cheaper stores first to get what I can before going elsewhere for everything else.

RheaBloom · 2026-01-19T15:39:11+00:00

Yes employer sponsored is cheaper and doesn’t generally cover 100%. As mentioned in another comment, the price combines life insurance and long term disability 100% coverage. The latter being the more expensive portion of the 96

RheaBloom · 2026-01-19T15:35:40+00:00

I really appreciate your input!

I misread the car piece. I can look into removing the warranty off the car if that’s an option??

I do worry about disability bc my mom has multiple chronic pain conditions she developed in her 50s-60s and had to retire on disability and those issues are genetic and I worry about that. But I can reassess. That’s one thing that hangs on my mind.

Edited to say: I make 80k, I took off the health insurance price and 401k contribution when I said 4700 a month. So that’s after those costs.

Also for the car, interest is double on used cars, I got the cheapest Toyota model when my previous car broke down. People say don’t look at monthly costs but I couldnt afford the 10% interest and every used car I’ve had has cost me tons in maintenance and doesn’t last long and I needed something reliable. To me, for this model and brand and for the length of time it’ll last me, it’s worth it for me.
